Abstract
Adrenal neoplasms are the third most common cause of hemorrhages and hematomas in the paranephric space. Spontaneous adrenal hemorrhage is a rare, potentially life-threatening condition characterized by acute blood loss due to vascular rupture within the adrenal gland, accompanied by active bleeding and the formation of retroperitoneal hematomas. This article presents a clinical case of diagnosing a spontaneous rupture of a left adrenal tumor in a 38-year-old female patient. Contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomography revealed an extensive left-sided retroperitoneal hematoma with a volume of 1300 cm³. Owing to timely surgical management, including laparotomy, removal of the organized left retroperitoneal hematoma, left adrenalectomy, and careful postoperative monitoring, the patient was discharged on the tenth day of hospitalization without any complications.
